tell me what this diet needs

[t3project]

ok...i am wanting to loose my gut and love handles while at the same time gaining muscle mass. any suggestions?

please keep in mind that i am not really looking to loose weigth, just my gut and love handles.

meal 1 = 1 scoop whey, 1cup oatmeal w/ skim milk, pre-workout plasmavol
meal 2 = 6 egg whites, post-workout plasmavol
meal 3 = 2 chicken breasts w/ 1cup green veggies
meal 4 = 1 scoop whey, 2 scoops anpb
meal 5 = 1 medium sized salad

this is just about all i have time for. as i work 11pm-7am and try my damness to get 8hrs sleep from 2:30pm-10:30pm

I dont know how big you are but that seems like awfully low calories to me. I woudl change around meal 1 and 2. Get 2 scoops whey in after you work out and eat your oats and eggs when you wake up. You definetely need to get some EFA's in there somewhere too. Put some more protein in that meal 5 too.

MORE PROTEIN!!!!

I'm a 140 pound girl and I eat six egg whites. You need to be eating more like 10.

Also - more real food - Tuna, chicken, Fish (salmon) Get a george foreman grill. pre-cook your food so it doesn't take up too much time.

Meal 5 - Are you having any protein with that salad??? Throw in some chicken, shrimp or albacore tuna.

Also, No way you are getting enough calories or carbs to maintain or add any muscle. Cook up some brown rice, microwave a potato -

ADD MORE FOOD!

You probably want a slower protein before bed. Like cottage cheese or some other source of casein.

 

[t3project]

Insane: other than that does it look ok?

 

[Insane_Man]

It's looking alright, assuming you weight under 200, protein is adequate. I wouldn't count on gaining a whole lot of mass with those calories, but you'll drop some fat. anpb= peanut butter right?

You may want to cut down a bit on that though, 1 tbsp contains ~100 calories. Also, you might consider adding another small meal in between 3 am and 730, a little bit of protein like a can of tuna or some cottage cheese or something.

On a side note, is it just me, or do chicke breasts not fill you up?

I at 3 large ones the other day and 30 mins later I was starving.

well originally my plans were to get rid of my gut and love handles. i am a fairly large person (215lbs) but not really fat i dont guess. i have been thinking though that i should bulk up and add alot more muscle before i start to loose the bodyfat. click on the link below for some pics.

as you can tell i have somewhat of a small gut but nothing major. so what should i do?

should i bulk up and pack on some muscle or loose the stomach and then bulk up?

bump for me and i guess it depends on what i eat with them. just the breast no, but some brocolli w/ it i am good to go.

lose the stomach, and work on those legs--squats, deads your upper body is out of proportion with your legs. When you do bulk, focus on heavy heavy squats.

Well I assume you probably want to lean out for summer. So maybe keep this diet for 2 months or so an see how it goes, then gradually ramp up the calories. Eat lots, but eat clean, that way you can get lots of protein and stay around 3000-3500 cals.
